Evolution of Genius, Part Five
“At this point, I’m willing to believe anything,” I sighed dejectedly. “I was nearing the end of my second go-round at that point,” the boy said. “At the time, I was thinking that two lifetimes were plenty, but then I met you, heard your story, and decided that I needed to meet with you again.” … Continue reading Evolution of Genius, Part Five
Evolution of Genius, Part Four
Bethany… “I’m sorry to have brought up such a painful subject,” said the boy, “but I just couldn’t think of another way to convince you…” I spun around, my shock at hearing that name quickly being replaced by anger. “Who told you about Bethany?” I hissed. “Well…” the boy replied apologetically, “you did.” “What are … Continue reading Evolution of Genius, Part Four
